The two tools are not public.
I guess bmw engeering tool could generate a .BIN file that auto install FSC unlike HUTool
I use HUTool. It works very fine but got a little problem with latest HU_NBT2 Harman HW4.1 brand new part from local dealer.
.BIN auto fsc install worked fine

You do realise that you use an old version and that brand new units have no VIN and that you need to do a bit of work before you can apply BIN file?
Latest HU Tool makes BIN files too anyway

some HUTool users say cant do m logo or enhanced bt coding with it & some old idrive like cic or nbt still no work
with HuTool you cant do auto install for fsc?
does all the functions work on your hutool or some don't work
have you used Bmw Engineering Tool

I am sure, that you must inquire first with the Intel if it is still possible to buy it in your country..

I've got HU Engineering Tools, support is superb and the fact the the original FSC's are backed up and can be restored is a real USP.
I've not used the other tool so can't comment.

that sound like good function to have
i only hear good about that tool & support for it
few Hu Tool users say it has a lot of bugs plus its behind on functions and still getting developed more
support from developer is slow too
RE: hu tool & bmw engeering tool comparison - sicess - 17-10-2018
What can i say from my experience - The developer may not be there at all the time, since he has tons of work to do regarding tool and updates, but one thing i can say that he will never leave you in trouble and help you for sure if it is urgent. In my opinion HUTool has more perspective.
RE: hu tool & bmw engeering tool comparison - Prometheus - 08-11-2018
I hear with latest firmware for evo HUTOOL bin file no longer work
is same for BMW Engineering Tool?
any one test
